Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation

I was wondering if the Shrike display has Cardie writing, but I'm still not sure. It looks different.

 

Just a thought on Lore (or Data-Lore combo) looking "Old": What if the way he had been in storage his exterior "skin" had been exposed to some form of radiation that is causing it to degrade.

This could be a genius plot mechanism so that at the end of Picard, the exo-skin would have to be replaced - Leaving the character open for recasting. *There were similar discussion during the script writing of Nemesis for Data and recasting.

 

There would be so very many falsified logs. XD

 

New theory: big bad is Robert Smith from the Cure and his disintegration weapon. Giveaway was the episode title "seventeen seconds"

Lost in a nebula, all alone

 

I could see Raffi becoming part of the Titan crew but XO is a big time reach.

I have a feeling when all is said and done Shaw will still be Captain of the Titan with Commander Hansen as his number one. And we’ll actually like Shaw.

maybe Lore has a built in “aging” program like his and Data’s “Mother”.

 

Oh, how wonderful: he's One of Us!

::applause!::

 

Best outcome.

 

Kirk was given Enterprise when he was a CADET.

Why make Seven jump through a ton of hoops?

 

I don't think so. In Data Lore it was stated that the two were identical except for some programming differences.

 

Different universe.

Data can age, it was stated in the episode with his mother that they have the same ability to age. So it's possible Lore has it as well.

 

You still haven't answered my question.

Kirk was given the Enterprise when he was a cadet. Why make Seven jump through a ton of hoops?

 

One is a cinematic movie written by someone who doesn't understand Star Trek or the military.

Kirk in the Prime Timeline didn't go from Cadet to Captain. No one has made an extreme jump like that in Star Trek outside of that movie.

 

Prime Kirk started as a Lieutenant.

Also Kirk:

Seven is being punished for things the franchise celebrates in Kirk.

 

We don't know that for sure. He could have been an ensign. It just hasn't been said.

Seven has already beat his record anyways from going from civilian to Commander in less than a year. Why does she need another boost? Let her spend a few years as a commander.

 

Kirk did not have eighteen years of military experience behind him.

 

And Seven doesn't have the starfleet command experience to be a Captain yet.

 

And Lieutenant Kirk did?

I have faith in Seven. If Michael Burnham can go from being court martialed for mutiny to being named Captain of Discovery, Seven can be Captain of Titan.

 

Kirk had been a Starfleet officer for 12 years before becoming Captain of the Enterprise.

Seven has neve been a Starfleet officer before now. Even when working on Voyager she was constantly disobeying orders, talking back, doing things that would get a normal officer reprimanded or even kicked out.

She needs a few more years under her belt before she can be a Captain.

 

Twelve years a lieutenant?

We make fun of Harry Kim for being an ensign for seven years.

 

He could have been promoted to Lieutenant Commander and so on at some point off screen, we just haven't been told that story yet.
